__**Speed of Sound:**__The lesson is designed around using Vernier Labs Logger Pro software along with their microphone and temperature probe to attempt to determine the speed of sound in a classroom setting. Given that this is an almost impossible experiment to gather data that is even reasonably precise and accurate enough to even get you close to the actual speed of sound, Vernier technology allows a student to obtain a very accurate result in a classroom setting with only the above technology and a cardboard tube of an approximate length of 1 meter. The beauty of the experiment is that it is extremely easy to replicate the experiment and repeat it numerous times to get even better results by averaging multiple attempts.
